Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An accessory configured to mount a wearable device, the accessory comprising:
 a first support; and   cradling frames extending side by side from the first support,   wherein the cradling frames are configured to dispose a display of the wearable device adjacent to the first support by receiving a corresponding one of wearing frames of the wearable device.   
     
     
         2 . The accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising a first cushion member provided on an inner surface of the first support and configured to contact a user's body. 
     
     
         3 . The accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second support coupled to an end portion of the cradling frames,   wherein the first support, the cradling frames, and the second support are arranged to form a closed loop shape.   
     
     
         4 . The accessory of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the cradling frames is configured to slide with respect to the second support. 
     
     
         5 . The accessory of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a battery received in the second support,   wherein the accessory is configured to supply power from the battery to the wearable device.   
     
     
         6 . The accessory of  claim 3 , further comprising a second cushion member provided on an inner surface of the second support and configured to contact a user's body. 
     
     
         7 . The accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 binding grooves provided in the cradling frames,   wherein the binding grooves are configured to receive or dispose at least a portion of any one of the wearing frames of the wearable device.   
     
     
         8 . The accessory of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a pressing member disposed on one of the binding grooves,   wherein the pressing member is configured to maintain a state in which any one of the wearing frames of the wearable device is disposed in the binding groove.   
     
     
         9 . The accessory of  claim 8 , comprising:
 a pair of pressing members,   wherein the accessory is configured to receive or dispose a portion of any one of the wearing frames of the wearable device between the pair of pressing members.   
     
     
         10 . The accessory of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a permanent magnet disposed adjacent to one of the binding grooves,   wherein the permanent magnet on the one binding groove is configured to generate an attraction force with any one of the wearing frames of the wearable device.   
     
     
         11 . The accessory of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 at least one contact terminal exposed inside one of the binding grooves,   wherein the contact terminal is configured to electrically contact any one of the wearing frames of the wearable device.   
     
     
         12 . The accessory of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 an avoidance recess formed in at least one of the cradling frames and provided on one side of one of the binding grooves; and   a cable configured to be electrically connected to any one of the wearing frames of the wearable device through the avoidance recess.   
     
     
         13 . The accessory of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a second support coupled to an end portion of the cradling frames and, together with the first support and the cradling frames, forming a closed loop shape; and   a battery received in the second support,   wherein the cable is configured to extend from the second support and supply power between the battery and one of the wearing frames.   
     
     
         14 . The accessory of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cradling frames further include:
 a guide frame extending from the first support, and 
 a slide frame coupled to the guide frame, and 
   wherein the slide frame is configured to slide closer to or farther from the first support while being guided by the guide frame.   
     
     
         15 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a wearable device configured to be worn on a body of a user by including a display and wearing frames extending from the display; and   an accessory configured to be worn on the body of the user and configured to mount the wearable device,   wherein the accessory comprising:
 a first support, and 
 cradling frames extending side by side from the first support, 
   wherein the cradling frames are configured to dispose the display of the wearable device adjacent to the first support by receiving a corresponding one of wearing frames of the wearable device, and   wherein in a state in which the wearable device is mounted on the accessory, the accessory is configured to be worn on the body of the user to align at least a portion of the display in a direction toward a face of the user.   
     
     
         16 . The electronic device of  claim 15 , wherein the accessory further comprises a first cushion member provided on an inner surface of the first support and configured to contact a user's body. 
     
     
         17 . The electronic device of  claim 15 ,
 wherein the accessory further comprises:
 a second support coupled to an end portion of the cradling frames, and
